Yes they do give live birth. If she has a fan tailed area under her then she is a female. If she has gotten bigger you could be looking at some babies. good luck

Yes they are a live bearer, guppies Molly's sword tails and platys are all basic live bearers. You will need to separate her from the other fish and put her into a floating tank so that she and the other fish don't eat the baby's, that's if you want to keep the baby's. Don't move her while she is giving birth though or you will stress her out and she will abort the pregnancy by absorbing the fry inside her. Make sure you keep her separate for a while after the birth as well so that she is not pestered and stressed out by the other fish which could also end in death.
Good luck x

Yes, mollies are a class of fish called live bearers, and they give birth to baby fish, called fry.You have to keep her separated from the fry, though, or she will eat them after they are born.

no because livebreeders usually lay eggs about every month or so.
